PUBG: Battlegrounds, formerly known as PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, helped whet our appetite for Battle Royale games before free-to-play Fortnite took the world by storm. To date, PUBG itself has become a free-to-play game. It also offers special rewards to previous players.

New players can download and play PUBG for free. Those who have purchased a copy of the game in the past five years will be upgraded to Battlegrounds Plus, which gives them two additional game types and other extra content to enjoy. Previous buyers will also receive a commemorative set of in-game cosmetics to enjoy.

New players can upgrade to Battlegrounds Plus for $ 12.99 and enjoy its benefits. These perks include a 100% XP boost, 1,300 G-Coins, Ranked Matches and Custom Matches, and a matching set of gloves, hat and mask.


If that’s not enough to bring you back to PUBG, the game will receive three free content updates between January 26 and February 9. And the game’s 15.2 update brings features like a tutorial, EMT gear so you can heal players, a scout drone that can give you an edge over the competition, and other great gadgets.

Will you come back to PUBG or maybe check it out for the first time? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
